Thanks! I was somewhat confused before reading the article, too.
I now still have to find out what a "DUI" is...

    So just a drunk doing stupid drunk things in traffic?
    Not even half as funny any more...

    Well, with a toy Barbie Jeep. The funny part is getting the DUI for driving a toy car, rather than for driving a real car (which is not funny and endangers others). This is akin to getting a ticket for walking drunk, because the toy car in question can't go very fast, nor does it fall over like a bicycle, so it's actually safer than drunk cycling.
